Deploy reveal.js presentations in Moodle!

Alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint presentations

See: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js for documentation and details about how to create slides and various effects/transitions.

reveal.js official demo: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

WARNING: Not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort to learn how to use. You will need to have some knowledge of HTML scripting and how to upload files to Moodle's File System repository via FTP.

Create, upload, and display fully functioning multimedia HTML5/CSS/JS presentations. It supports:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Audio (HTML5 audio tags)
  • Video(HTML5 video tags)
  • SVG images and animations (depending on browser compatibility)
  • Embedded web pages and resources (iframes)

It doesn't support Flash or Java applets. This is a pure HTML5/CSS/JS presentation module.

Supports web audio and video formats and can provide multiple version files (in source tags), e.g. myvideo.mp4 and myvideo.ogg for cross browser compatibility.

Has some really slick transitions and styles built in. Makes your presentations look amazing smile

Create, display, transfer, and share sophisticated multimedia presentations that display beautifully in HTML5 compliant browsers.

This is a beta version. Not for production servers!

    Hi Matt, thanks for sharing this smile

    The plugin installs easily with no problems here. I can see the awesome stuff in here but it isn't useful to the lay person straight away as you've mentioned.
    In any case there's a warning here (feel free to make it more colourful big grin) and the discussion has already brought up the usability issues.

    Normally, its not a good idea to distribute a readme.txt with directions for file manipulations. I think a good point to make this MATURITY_STABLE will be when that isn't required. i'll jump the gun here and approve it since its a BETA.

    ps: RTL true or false can be obtained from body of page or from the current lang's config's 'direction' value.

    Hi Rafael,

    There's some information here about uploading presentations to Moodle's File System repository: https://github.com/matbury/mod_revealjs/wiki/Uploading-presentations

    I'll repeat that this plugin is only suitable for those with some knowledge of HTML scripting and FTP.

    Hi Aparup,

    Would it be a good idea to include a function to create the required directories in /moodledata/repository/... in the installer?

    Thanks Matt!!

    In the link that did you send me, explains about upload of folder for presentations..
    When I did download of plugin, already existed the folder as you explained me: "/moodledata/repository/revealjscontent/aaaaa/matbury/hello_world/slideshow.html", correct?
    I could use as example for create one activity test could not it?
    Yet, i created another paste in "/moodledata/repository/revealjscontent/aaaaa/rafael/moodlecurse/index.html", and nothing happens!!
    My problem is when I create the activity!! In Geral, I inform "Name Field", "Description", but when i need to select presentation file in "choose file", not appear box for select the paste..

    I have knowledge of HTML and FTP, I am web design, but moodle I am starting.. thanks
